Audit flags procedural gaps in MPD fleet procurement; department agrees to formalize SOPs by September
Summary
An audit of the Milwaukee Police Department's fleet lifecycle found one medium-level finding: the Budget & Finance SOP lacks specific detail on fleet and equipment purchases and inventory updates. MPD agreed to update SOPs and expects completion around September.
The Comptroller's Office presented a fleet procurement-to-disposal audit for the Milwaukee Police Department prepared by CliftonLarsonAllen. Brian Bogusky, the audit manager introduced by MPD staff, summarized the scope and said the audit identified one medium-level finding: a lack of detailed procedures around fleet and equipment acquisitions and a missing formalized process for inventory updates in the Budget & Finance SOP.
Bogusky said auditors confirmed that assets were invoiced and that acquisition practices generally followed established guidelines but recommended the department add specific steps and approval layers for fleet purchases and inventory maintenance. MPD representatives told the committee they are already tracking inventories and plan to add the policy language into formal SOPs with an expected completion around September; the committee placed the audit on file.
